Stabalizer/Sway bar removal?
ORIGINAL: muddy_blue_dodge
so if sway bars try to get rid of body roll, then getting a stronger (stiffer, i guess) sway bar would eliminate even more body roll, right? does anyone know if stiffer sway bars are made to replace these?

Sway bar also helps keep the truck stable when you go over rougher pavement (like pot-holes). Without it you'll feel the truck rocking side to side more with every bump. Forget about going fast if your taking it off.
yeah.. if you have body roll and you cant find a better swaybar, i'd get stiffer shocks. wont lean nearly as much around corners (so it'll save that drink) but it might be alittle bumpy going down the road. or when you go to lift your truck just replace your coils with 2500 ones
I read a nice post on another forum with pictures were a guy converted his sway bar to have quick disconnects from a Jeep. So its connected while on the highway and around town, but when he wants to hit the train and needs some more flex, he disconnects it in just a couple of seconds. It's a nice set-up, but this forum won't let me post the URL to it since it is at another forum that is a direct competitor with this one. [:@]

Done on a 1st gen Ramcharger, but you get the idea

Please remember this is for slow off road travel ONLY! Running without a sway bar on the highway at high speeds is very very dangerous. Use common sense. Read up on the advantages of not having your sway hooked up in situations where you need alot of articulation.
Here are some pics of the sway bar disconnect that I was refering too. He bought these from www.roughcountry.com/Jeep_TJ_Xtras.htm
Not sure if this would work for everyone, he used this with his 5" lift.
Also is a pic of another guys suggestions on how to do disconnects yourself.
I wonder if disconnects rattle since they are not tight connections?

The quick disconnect is the way to go. Like Rom said, try to find a larger sway bar . Also, you can use poly graphite, or polyurethane bushings in place of the stock rubber jobs. Check P-S-T.com for these, the last time I checked they had them for second gen rams.
I like these from Energy Suspension.. These are also polyurethane, but the frame bushing is also greasable (notice the zerk on top).
